Arthur wasn't sure how he would have reacted after waking up and finding out Tony Stark was... no, okay, he wasn't going to say the word. Or let alone even think the word.

"I was glad too," he admitted in a soft tone and tightened his arms around him.

Hugging he could do, at least where Tony was concerned.

Admitting out-loud feelings he definitely had was a little harder. But, he cared and he felt Tony knew that. That was the thing (and something he truly valued), he felt he could be himself around Tony just as much as Tony could be himself around him.

"You're here and I'm here, that's all I need too."
